The Las Vegas Raiders are in clear need of major changes this offseason, both to the coaching staff and the roster, which has several key weaknesses if the team hopes to return to contender status—a level it has long been absent from.
On Sunday, the Raiders were shut out 31–0 by the Philadelphia Eagles, dropping to 2–12 on the season in Pete Carroll’s first year as the organization’s head coach.
While some believe Carroll’s tenure may already be in jeopardy, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith made an urgent plea to Raiders minority owner and Fox Sports announcer Tom Brady to take on a much more prominent role in the organization and begin overseeing day-to-day football operations. Smith acknowledged that such a move is unlikely given Brady’s lucrative Fox contract.

“They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but the Raiders are so awful right now, the stench has circulated around the country,” Smith said. “Every football city recognizes how bad they’ve been. Put Tom Brady in charge, Mark Davis. I don’t care about him being just a part owner. Hand over football operations to Tom Brady. Not that you can, because he’s not gonna leave the job he’s got at Fox that’s paying him over $37 million to run the damn Raiders…but ask him anyway.”

Brady has become more hands-on as a minority owner of the Raiders, but there are still strict guidelines he must follow as a Fox Sports announcer and under NFL rules regarding what he’s allowed to do.
If he were to take on a more extensive role running day-to-day football operations, it would likely require him to step away from his current role, especially for a Raiders team that appears to be heading toward a near-complete rebuild.
